Because we’re tired of losing... the excuses are nullshit. Locker, young, Mariota, it’s pathetic. We keep drafting mental cases. Draft somebody like Mayfield’s bravado, Mahomes arm and Lamar’s speed.

It's going to take a lot because everything you guys loved Mariota for, he's being given a long leash as a result. The locker room loves him. Fans loved him. Coaches like him. So if they're going to close the door when he absolutely crashes and burns. The Tennessee Titans made him the franchise QB even though he hasn't played like one. So he gets the Eli Manning treatment (Manning had a whole extra season) Manning just got benched this week despite not being that bad... Offensive Coaches are more apt to change QBs when things aren't working. Its obvious Mariota is done; rip the bandaid and move on. Not doing so is disservice. kgsTitan, Justafan, and EagleEye 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no idea what Scine is talking about.

Eli had a whole season of shit and they drafted his obvious successor. It's different. Manning actually had a much longer leash than Mariota will likely get. If we drafted our new QBoTF this offseason we would pull the trigger quicker because we have a new face. Right now, we would literally be getting rid of the face of our franchise with no replacement.

Going to Tannehill is a move to see if he can be better than Mariota this year and help the team win now. No one thinks Tannehill is going to replace Mariota long term. Not sure why I have to keep saying it... Tanny was trash in Miami. Even if he out performs Mariota it pushes our draft pick back. Your better to ride Mariota out. pamo9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been telling people that I've never seen an athlete get crucified by fans like this. You're right asking a running QB to throw it away is irrational. He should be doing what Watson, Mahomes or Wilson would do. Extend the play and make the defense pay. Instead our QB has to act like Kerry Collins. Which I always thought was stupid.

Didn't realize we should be playing for a playoff spot in week 4. Better to ride out a player we know won't be back. I don't think so. Tanny has had 1 winning season his entire career. Acting like he's going to make a deep playoff run is silly. Would you rather get the QB of the future for a decade + next year or playoffs this year. No certainty Tanny is back next year either, so... Edited September 20, 2019 by Tomachek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryBoats Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 39 minutes ago, Tomachek said: Tanny isn't that much better than Mariota, I don't know why people seem to think he is. Neither are long-term solutions, so let Mariota build his case to not re-sign him. Prior to the season, everyone would have agreed with you. But now he's being outplayed by QBs whose respective teams had no intention of playing. during RT's previous two seasons, Miami won 80% of the games in which the team held the opponent to 25 or less and had very good numbers . We can win with that. We had a slightly lower winning % with Marita in the same scenarios. His numbers still sucked, but the offense at least did enough to get us to the finish. Now he can't do anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
